Shrimp and Spinach Spaghetti

We are currently on spring break and traveling in Italy. We started our trip in London, Barcelona, but Italy is the main highlight of our trip. Italy has been amazing and a dream come true.

I had traveled to Italy on business trips before, but this is my first personal trip when I can actually soak in everything that Italy has to offer.

Needless to stay, we have been eating (and drinking) so well. All sorts of pasta, pizzas, paninis, coffee, gelato, and the array of desserts. I am learning and experimenting something new every day, as I eat through different parts of Italy.

Italy is really a food lover’s paradise, and we are enjoying every moment of it. Here is my easy shrimp and pasta spaghetti, a little piece of Italy from my kitchen to yours.
